Swimming Reflex
I watched the movie "Blue Lagoon," and noticed that the baby that the two main characters have moves its arms and legs on its own when submerged in water, when it is, at most, a few weeks old. It also did not show any signs of starting to drown. I realize it's just a movie, but when I asked my aunt about it, she said that at a young age babies have a reflex to hold their breath when underwater, and that they can swim a little too. I was just wondering -- is this true? And if so, when does this reflex disappear? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.39.148.218 (talk) 04:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- I've heard this mentioned before too. The practice of Water birth involves giving birth to the baby in water, and though the Wikipedia article doesnt mention it, Im given to understand that the baby will start swimming around in there automatically. When does the reflex disappear? I dont believe it ever does. It's just that if you're not exposed to underwater environments until you're, say, ten years old, by that time you've long since outgrown relying on instinct to gauge your actions and you're going to say "whoa". This is all hearsay, of course, which is why I'm not posting it into the main article. Soap Talk/Contributions 10:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Merge proposal
I was looking for "developmental milestones", and found a very short stub on it. I think the former term is likelier to be searched than the current title of this list/article. Also, may be with effort (actually quite a bit), this list could be transformed into full fledged article with some (at least) preliminary explanation of what all aspects of development are considered.
Looking forward to some feedback.
